Why Property Taxes Matter
Property taxes directly impact the cost of homeownership. They are calculated based on your property’s assessed value using this formula:
(Assessed Value / 1,000) x Tax Rate = Annual Property Tax
For example, a $1 million home in Chatham, where the tax rate is $3.47 per $1,000, would pay an annual tax of $3,470.
